…If the Lions hadn’t resigned Houston and went out and got Quin bringing back Delmas wouldn’t have mattered …they would be in the same boat as last year.
They have more than one need to address so they could go in a few different directions with the 5th pick. My point was just that if they decided to pick a corner at that spot Milliner, playing with that group of veterans, would make that secondary pretty good.
Hopefully any kid they wind up picking will make either the offense or the defence better.
And since your more informed than the rest of Lions fans, why don’t we call Mayhew and see if he’ll let you make the pick. Sheesh!

Gotta give Mayhew and Schwartz an A in FA.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 22:56:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817321#comment-2401514The Lions biggest need right now is a pass rushing DE. I hoped they’d get Michael Bennett but he went to the Seahawks cheap … $5 million for one year. If the Lions could get one of the OTs, Joeckel or Fisher at #5, they’d be elated. If not it will probably be Ansah or Milliner. And Milliner might turn out to be the better choice.

Delmas spends more time on sideline than on the field…he CAN NOT stay healthy.

Delmas has only one INT is past three seasons…he IS NOT a playmaker.

With the deepest draft class for safeties that we’ve seen in a long time, I seriously have to question why Mayhew would overpay for this guy.

Elam/Reid/Rambo/Thomas will all be available in 2nd or 3rd rounds.

I would rather have any one of those young guns instead of watching more of Delmas bounce off of tackles like a pinball.

Lions drafted 3 DB’s last year, they just need to stay healthy. We need line help even though Hillard held his own against Clay Matthews last year when Backus was out. Either Fisher or a DE.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:20:10 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817321#comment-2401254With Backus retiring, I’ll bet they go OT at #5.

They’ll continue to develop Bentley as the corner opposite Houston. Plus they do have two other young corners(greenwood, green?).

DE is a need, and so is WR as the lions don’t have true #2.

Of course they are doing all these things so I re-up my sunday ticket subscription for next season. Yes, I’m a glutten for punishment!

ANYONE who thinks we need Milliner probably thinks Millen was a good talent evaluator. Lions need line help with the 5th pick period. DE or OT. The signing of Delmas makes DB even less of a need. Sheesh.

Our recent signing Jones will be a Nickel DT.

Draft a stud DE at #5!!!!! ”

Yeah, it depends who’s there at #5. I like Milliner, or a DE also.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:51:37 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817321#comment-2401150I’m liking the Lions moves in free agency this year. And like everyone is saying – this is good if Delmas can stay healthy. He has a way of elevating the play of everyone around him, and we need that.

I think this all but guarantees the Lions will go after Eric Fisher (OT – CMU) with the #5 pick. Luke Joeckel will definitely be off the board by the time we pick.

In round 2 Mayhew will go for “best available player”, and that will probably be a WR knowing him. I’d rather see him go after a DE with that number 2 pick and look for speedy WRs in later rounds.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:43:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817321#comment-2401115Dee Milliner makes alot of sense now. I was honestly thinking a defensive end at 5 but siqning Quin , resigning Houston and bringing back Delmas ( and keeping him healthy ) … makes that secondary so much better very quickly. If Mayhew and the Lions scouting staff have done their homework they could still find a good pass rushing end or linebacker in the 2nd or 3rd round?

When broken down Quin’s deal averages $4.7 million/year. While Delmas’ deal averages $4.73 million/year. Coincidence? Locker room bragging rights think not

Surely, a better combo of price, durability and skill set was available. Of all the FA signings during this week’s spree this one is the most likely to be regrettable.

Like everyone said before me, he’s awesome when healthy. Healthy Delmas deserves to get paid, unhealthy Delmas does not.
